A nice article on 7 reasons to fall in love with the Caribbean and to our delight we are the culinary reason. Its pretty fulfilling to see our little place in this tiny town on the Costa Rican coastline receive so much positive press coverage in the short time we have been open. I guess we must be doing something right and thats why we also have to keep on expanding our seating to keep up with demand. Two more ginger mojitos please !

We have been showing up on travel and restaurant blogs lately. Of course we love these shameless plugs and keep sharing them. Who can resist a cold mojito while watching the sun set over the caribbean sea

Beach Restaurant Bar+Lounge is a concept capturing the essence of Costa Rica and its eco friendly spirit, KOKi Beach embraces it's environment and community in which it lives. Working with principally local materials, artisans and incorporating mostly reused, reclaimed and repurposed elements this unique space was created. This was accomplished by capturing such things as the wood from an abandoned house in Hone Creek, which now serve as tables and seating for the restaurant as well as the decorative entry feature, the bar bodega and decorative elements. Local river stones were used for the building support as well as the unique bar back wall, while the lamps are a combination of carvings by the local indigenous community in Bribri and a local artisan who specializes in beadwork. KOKi Beach is a showcase of local craftmanship and shows how using the knowledge and traditions of the community one can truly create a modern and environmentally friendly space.

We only use freshest local produced ingredients some from our own farm. We hope you will enjoy the KOKi Beach experience.
